OXO Chef’s Mandoline 2.0: several cuts in one countertop tool

Decide whether the cut options earn the space

This is a countertop slicer with a published 16-by-7-by-6.25-inch footprint. Its settings include straight and wavy slicing plus built-in strip cuts, which can justify the space if you regularly use those options. Check storage before buying and leave time for cleaning. OXO’s model-specific care table marks the Chef’s 2.0 for hand washing, so do not apply another slicer’s dishwasher instructions to it.

The details that matter

The Chef’s 2.0 suits a prep routine that uses several thicknesses and cut styles. Check its storage footprint before committing cabinet space, and budget time for careful hand-cleaning. Use the food holder and follow the supplied instructions; a sharp exposed blade still demands attention even with a holder and non-slip base.

What stands out

• Built-in cut options and top-view setting window consolidate several slicing tasks.
• Food holder reduces the need to push produce with exposed fingers when used correctly.

Where to pause

• Substantial countertop footprint compared with a small handheld tool.
• Sharp blade and separate hand-cleaning require deliberate handling.

Make the decision

Choose around the cut styles you use and the storage space you can give the tool. Include deliberate holder use and hand-cleaning in the routine. Match Good Grips SKU 11194500 rather than substituting a similarly named SteeL version.

Think about the fit: Cooks who need multiple slice and strip settings and will use the holder consistently

Check before buying: Exact SKU, storage space, manual and replacement blade availability
